Don't Know Why I Do It

(Tony Martin / Mark Nesler)
 Have you ever stared down in the bottom of a coffee cup
 And discovered that you got no reason staying up
 Right at the moment when
 The caffine is kickin' in.
 So you break down and give an old girlfriend a call
 Then after two hours of hearing her mindless talk
 You remember what you dumped her for
 And you wish you hadn't opened that door.
 Chorus:
 I do it and I don't know why
 Hate to admit it but I think that I
 Got something rollin' round loose inside
 That never was screwed down tight
 I don't know why I do it
 But I do it all the time.
 Have you ever worked hard
 To line your pockets with dough
 Then let a little girl and love start burning a hole
 Knowing that she'll break your heart
 And max out your credit cards.
 Chorus:
 I do it and I don't know why
 Hate to admit it but I think that I
 Got something rollin' round loose inside
 That never was screwed down tight
 No, I don't know why I do it
 But I do it all the time.
 --- Instrumental ---
 Have you ever fallin' for a girls thinkin' she's the one
 And you get a funny feeling that your ramblin' days are done
 You can tell she loves you so much
 You have to go and screw it up.
 Chorus:
 I do it and I don't know why
 Hate to admit it but I think that I
 Got something rollin' round loose inside
 That never was screwed down tight
 No, I don't know why I do it
 I do it, I do it, I do it
 I do it and I don't know why
 I got a habit of wreckin' my life
 Keep leaning left when I want to go right
 You know it isn't like I haven't tried
 I don't know why I do it
 But I do it all the time.
 (Why do it, Don't know why I do it)
 I don't know why I do it,
 But I do it all the time...
